Assuming we have fair midterms and a sane transfer of power, Republicans are so fucked.

If we want to end the gerrymandering nonsense forever we can switch to using Proportional Representation with each state as one multi member district. No more arguing over lines, and no more shutting third parties out of representation.

Actually, it looks like they redrew the map to properly reflect the voters will.

Can’t believe the Democrats acted like Republicans for once. They aren’t supposed to be able to do that!!!

At least VA and CA presented it to the citizens who were able to vote on the proposal. Texas et al didn’t.

Conservatives seething that…the people voted for something the people want, aka, how the government is *supposed* to work?

Actually saw the following elsewhere. “It only passed by 51.3% that’s too narrow it should be ignored!!”

The hilarious part of all of this is this: Texas redistricting that triggered this response diluted some of their previously solid-red districts to the point that they are now vulnerable. Texas Republicans could actually end up losing seats. It’s going to be so funny to see this blow up in Greg Abbot’s face.

whats not fair is allowing a party to participate in democracy while they openly attack it. this should have the party banned, all the money flowing through it seized, and the largest donors to it investigated for possible treason. allowing the republican party to exist is unfair to every american.
every government should be created with the intent to move more and more towards empowering people and enacting their collective will, not the will of some class of billionaires, fascists, or coalition of religious cults and pedophiles.

Also MAGA: “how dare Virginia do something so undemocratic as hold a referendum to redistrict to counter our redistricting?!”

Let’s all remember which party started the whole redistricting thing to try and rig votes. Just look at how most liberal areas are gerrymandered to hell in red states just so that the liberals have no representation.

Image on the left, democrats/republicans 50% representation. Image on the right, democrats 91% representation. Population density is a major consideration drawing these lines, it’s not as easy as 50% colored blue and 50% colored red is fair. You end up with one side speaking louder than the majority that way. Yet gerrymandering will gerrymander.

I still cant get over the fact that Magarats still think that land should give them more votes then where the density of the population is at. You see them mountains over there.. I herd dey voted 4 dat orange fellah right thur.

States should be redistricted every 5-10 years based on the states voting. If 40% voted R and 60% votes D then 60% of districts (or as close as possible)should be democratic and 40% should be Republicans (or as close as possible).
